EPISODE 1 · 27 APRIL 2026
Paris is one of Europe's most exciting F1 destinations — and in the first episode of the GP Travel Vlog, we show you exactly why. From the official Alpine F1 Store to the legendary Renault Carwalk on the Champs-Élysées, Paris is a city every Formula 1 fan should visit at least once.
When it comes to F1 destinations in Paris, the Alpine F1 Store on Boulevard des Capucines is the place to start. This is the official flagship store of the BWT Alpine F1 Team — the French Formula 1 constructor with a proud motorsport heritage stretching back decades. Spread across nearly 650 m² in Paris's 2nd arrondissement, the Atelier Alpine is far more than a merchandise shop. It is a full brand experience: driving simulators, exclusive team wear, scale models, and a deep dive into the history of Alpine and Renault in Formula 1. Whether you are a die-hard Alpine fan or simply passionate about F1, this Paris destination is unmissable. The atmosphere is electric — especially during race weekends when the city buzzes with F1 energy.
Just a short walk away, the Renault Carwalk at 53 Avenue des Champs-Élysées is another essential F1 destination in Paris. This iconic showroom traces the history of Renault's most beautiful and significant models — from classic vintage cars to modern electric concept vehicles. Renault has been part of Formula 1 since 1977, and their legacy in the sport is undeniable: from the turbo era that changed F1 forever to the championship-winning years with Fernando Alonso. Walking through the Renault Carwalk gives you a tangible sense of that legacy, right in the heart of Paris. It is the perfect complement to the Alpine F1 Store and a must for any F1 fan visiting the French capital.
Paris may not (yet) host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, but it is one of the most compelling F1 destinations in Europe. With the Alpine F1 Team based nearby, Renault's deep-rooted history in the sport, and two world-class motorsport attractions on or near the Champs-Élysées, Paris delivers a genuine F1 experience in one of the world's great cities. Combine that with world-class food, iconic architecture, and vibrant culture, and you have the perfect city break before or after a European race weekend.
